Christina Steele, BACP

Christina Steele is a UK-credentialed therapist who brings a strengths-based, collaborative approach to working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship challenges. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has built professional experience supporting clients over the course of her career.

Christina sees each person as the expert of their own story and works alongside them to identify strengths and goals that can guide therapeutic work. Her style emphasizes empowerment and partnership, helping clients explore what they would like to achieve from therapy and developing practical ways to move toward those goals.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Christina acknowledges that first step while focusing on creating a respectful and supportive therapeutic relationship. She offers tailored support for issues such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship concerns, and parenting-related difficulties, always adapting the pace and focus to meet a client’s needs and preferences.

Somatic and Trauma-Focused Approaches in Online Therapy

Christina works with somatic therapy and trauma-focused therapy to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, and the effects of past trauma. Somatic therapy focuses on the body-mind connection by helping clients notice physical sensations and learn grounding or regulation strategies; this can be particularly helpful for managing anxiety, overwhelm, and bodily responses to stress. Trauma-focused therapy involves carefully addressing traumatic experiences and their emotional and relational impact, offering tools to process memories and reduce the intensity of triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Christina approaches that choice collaboratively. She will explore a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapt sessions so the chosen methods fit the person and their pace. Clients and therapist work together to evaluate what feels most helpful and make adjustments as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Christina is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home, to try shorter or more frequent check-ins, and to choose the way of working that best supports engagement and consistency with therapy.
